Weiser Forest Fire Wardens Association is an organization committed to the promotion of Wildfire Prevention, Wildland Firefighter Safety, and the brother and sisterhood of the men and women who protect our forests and the wildland urban interface from the ravages of wildfire. Fighting Wildfires is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, rivaling that of the Baring Sea Crab Fisherman. The content of this channel will be intended to promote Wildland Firefighter Safety, Wildfire Prevention, Wildland Urban Interface preparedness, and also to educate not just firefighters, but the general public as well about how to live and work safely in the forest. Some content may be just for fun, but the majority will be intended to educate and/or inspire in some way.

I would like to join a department some day
I was a firefighter with alder camp and a firefighter with Palican bay firefighter Department.
Is the order in which all these are listed the universal order? If someone asks me what the 1st watch out situation is I'm supposed to say "fire not scouted or sized up" every time regardless of where in the country I am and the agency I'm working for?
Fire on the book it'll be your 10s first then your 18s . Now here's an example there suppose to ask you what's the 10s of the 7 or what's the 18s of the 16
